Thanks for the suggestion T.C.
Still couldn't get it to work. This is what I've done:2. formatted the usb with $ liveusb-creator --reset-mbr as it was causing to enter into emergency mode when trying to install F17. F17 installation did not work I think I got a message like "missing operating system".
3. Created USB-live image with Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso . It booted however got the message "need to load kernel first", eventually got the fedora logo but that was followed by black screen and did not proceed any further.

Fedora on Secure Boot machines. Fedora should install fine regardless
of whether or not Secure Boot is enabled.
If your laptop came with Windows 7 preinstalled, then it likely

predates secure boot. Again, Secure Boot is not required to install
Fedora, so this doesn't matter.
Your assumption might be incorrect. ;-)

There's a problem with using actual spinning discs with UEFI systems
and Fedora 18 [1]. While the bug speaks only of Mac hardware, I've
experienced it on Windows UEFI systems as well. Try creating a Live
USB with the latest version of Fedora's liveusb-creator [2] (other
software like unetbootin might not do UEFI right) and see if that
works.
